Gallbladder or not?

I have been ill since the first week of August with severe pain in my upper right hand side of my abdomen. For two months I was in and out of hospital and eventually last week they removed my gallbladder and the pain went.

However since Monday I have felt poorly. I was so nauseous on Monday. Yesterday and Tuesday I felt under the weather, today the severe pain is back, I have had diarrhoea and been sick. I have also had an achy heavy feeling in my lower abdomen, sort of where my uterus is, kind of a Pre-period feeling all week and it's definitely not that time of the month.

Would you go back to the hospital or ride it out and see. I have taken Tramadol but it hasn't helped.

I would go back to the hospital. Sometimes there can be pancreas related problems when you have issues with your gallbladder.

definitely get seen as it could also be related to the operation.

I went to the hospital and the doctor ordered an x-ray and diagnosed inflamed rib cartilage. Must have hit my rib with some of the instruments last week when I got the gallbladder removed. Been prescribed diclofenac suppositories (as I cant take anti-inflammitories orally) and more Tramadol.
